1 Thessalonians 5
1 My fellow believers, [I want to tell you more] about the time or period [when the Lord Jesus will come back. Really], you do not need me to you about that,
| ہے بھْراتَرَح، کالانْ سَمَیاںشْچادھِ یُشْمانْ پْرَتِ مَمَ لِکھَنَں نِشْپْرَیوجَنَں، |
2 because you yourselves know accurately [what will happen! You know] that the Lord [Jesus will return] [MTY] [unexpectedly] (OR, [when some people are unprepared]). [People will not expect him, just like no one knows when] a thief [comes unexpectedly] at night [SIM].
| یَتو راتْرَو یادرِکْ تَسْکَرَسْتادرِکْ پْرَبھو رْدِنَمْ اُپَسْتھاسْیَتِیتِ یُویَں سْوَیَمیوَ سَمْیَگْ جانِیتھَ۔ |
3 [At a future time] many people will say, “[All is] peaceful and [we are] safe!” Then suddenly the Lord Jesus will come to punish people severely! Just like a pregnant woman who [experiences] birth pains [cannot stop those pains], those people will definitely not [have any way to] escape [their punishment].
| شانْتِ رْنِرْوِّنْگھَتْوَنْچَ وِدْیَتَ اِتِ یَدا مانَوا وَدِشْیَنْتِ تَدا پْرَسَوَویدَنا یَدْوَدْ گَرْبّھِنِیمْ اُپَتِشْٹھَتِ تَدْوَدْ اَکَسْمادْ وِناشَسْتانْ اُپَسْتھاسْیَتِ تَیرُدّھارو نَ لَپْسْیَتے۔ |
4 [Just like people] in the dark [are unaware of what is happening around them, most people will not be aware of what is about to happen to them] [MET, PRS]. Just like a thief [comes unexpectedly for people who are unaware, that time of punishment will come when people are not expecting it] [SIM]. But you, my fellow believers, are people who are very much aware [LIT] of what is going to happen. As a result, you will be expecting [LIT] those things [MTY] to happen [PRS]. All of us [believers] are people [IDM] [who do what is right, as people usually do in] the daytime [MET] [when their actions can be seen]. We are not [people who do evil things, as some people do when it is] dark [MET].
| کِنْتُ ہے بھْراتَرَح، یُویَمْ اَنْدھَکاریناورِتا نَ بھَوَتھَ تَسْماتْ تَدِّنَں تَسْکَرَ اِوَ یُشْمانْ نَ پْراپْسْیَتِ۔ |
| سَرْوّے یُویَں دِیپْتیح سَنْتانا دِوایاشْچَ سَنْتانا بھَوَتھَ وَیَں نِشاوَںشاسْتِمِرَوَںشا وا نَ بھَوامَح۔ |
6 So we believers must be aware of what is happening. We must be watching carefully, [as people who are awake watch for a thief] [MET]. We must be self-controlled, as people who are (sober/not drunk) are able to control what they do [MET]. People who sleep [MET] [are unaware of what is happening, and unbelievers are like that].
| اَتو پَرے یَتھا نِدْراگَتاح سَنْتِ تَدْوَدْ اَسْمابھِ رْنَ بھَوِتَوْیَں کِنْتُ جاگَرِتَوْیَں سَچیتَنَیشْچَ بھَوِتَوْیَں۔ |
7 It is at night when people become drunk [and they do very wrong actions/things, and are unaware of what is happening because they] are asleep.
| یے نِدْرانْتِ تے نِشایامیوَ نِدْرانْتِ تے چَ مَتّا بھَوَنْتِ تے رَجَنْیامیوَ مَتّا بھَوَنْتِ۔ |
8 But we believers are people who [should do what is right] [MET], so we must be self-controlled, [as people] in the daytime [are usually not drunk and are able to control what they do] [MET]. [As Roman soldiers protect themselves by] putting on breastplates and helmets [MET], we [believers] must [protect ourselves by continuing to] trust and love [the Lord Jesus] and by continuing to confidently expect that he will save [us from God’s punishing us at the time when he will punish other people].
| کِنْتُ وَیَں دِوَسَسْیَ وَںشا بھَوامَح؛ اَتو سْمابھِ رْوَکْشَسِ پْرَتْیَیَپْریمَرُوپَں کَوَچَں شِرَسِ چَ پَرِتْراناشارُوپَں شِرَسْتْرَں پَرِدھایَ سَچیتَنَے رْبھَوِتَوْیَں۔ |
9 When God chose us, he did not plan for us to [be people whom he will severely] punish [MTY]. On the contrary, [he decided] that he would save us because of [our trusting in what] our Lord Jesus Christ [has done for us].
| یَتَ اِیشْوَروسْمانْ کْرودھے نَ نِیُجْیاسْماکَں پْرَبھُنا یِیشُکھْرِیشْٹینَ پَرِتْرانَسْیادھِکارے نِیُکْتَوانْ، |
10 Jesus died [to atone/pay] for our [sins] in order that we might be able to live together with him, whether we are alive [MET] or whether we are dead [EUP] [when he returns to earth].
| جاگْرَتو نِدْراگَتا وا وَیَں یَتْ تینَ پْرَبھُنا سَہَ جِیوامَسْتَدَرْتھَں سوسْماکَں کرِتے پْرانانْ تْیَکْتَوانْ۔ |
11 Because [you know that this is true], continue to encourage/comfort each other, as indeed you now are doing.
| اَتَایوَ یُویَں یَدْوَتْ کُرُتھَ تَدْوَتْ پَرَسْپَرَں سانْتْوَیَتَ سُسْتھِرِیکُرُدھْوَنْچَ۔ |
12 My fellow believers, we [three] ask that you recognize/honor [as leaders] those people who work hard for you. [Specifically], respect those who lead you as fellow believers who (have a close relationship with/are united to) the Lord [Jesus]. They warn you [to stop doing what is wrong] (OR, they teach you [to do what is right]).
| ہے بھْراتَرَح، یُشْماکَں مَدھْیے یے جَناح پَرِشْرَمَں کُرْوَّنْتِ پْرَبھو رْنامْنا یُشْمانْ اَدھِتِشْٹھَنْتْیُپَدِشَنْتِ چَ تانْ یُویَں سَمَّنْیَدھْوَں۔ |
13 That is, we [ask that you] consider those leaders to be very important and that you love them, because they work [hard to help you]. We also urge you to live peacefully with each other.
| سْوَکَرْمَّہیتُنا چَ پْریمْنا تانْ اَتِیوادرِیَدھْوَمِتِ مَمَ پْرارْتھَنا، یُویَں پَرَسْپَرَں نِرْوِّرودھا بھَوَتَ۔ |
14 My fellow believers, we urge that you warn [believers] who will not work [in order to] ([obtain/earn the money to buy]) [things that they need to live. Tell them that they are behaving wrongly]. We urge you that you encourage [believers] who are fearful (OR, discouraged), and that you help all people who are weak [in any way]. We also urge you to be patient with everyone.
| ہے بھْراتَرَح، یُشْمانْ وِنَیامَہے یُویَمْ اَوِہِتاچارِنو لوکانْ بھَرْتْسَیَدھْوَں، کْشُدْرَمَنَسَح سانْتْوَیَتَ، دُرْبَّلانْ اُپَکُرُتَ، سَرْوّانْ پْرَتِ سَہِشْنَوو بھَوَتَ چَ۔ |
15 Make sure that none [of you] does evil things to anyone [who has done] evil to you. On the contrary, you must always try to do good [things] for each other (OR, to fellow believers) and to everyone else.
| اَپَرَں کَمَپِ پْرَتْیَنِشْٹَسْیَ پھَلَمْ اَنِشْٹَں کیناپِ یَنَّ کْرِییتَ تَدَرْتھَں ساوَدھانا بھَوَتَ، کِنْتُ پَرَسْپَرَں سَرْوّانْ مانَواںشْچَ پْرَتِ نِتْیَں ہِتاچارِنو بھَوَتَ۔ |
16 Be joyful (at all times/always),
| سَرْوَّدانَنْدَتَ۔ |
17 pray continually,
| نِرَنْتَرَں پْرارْتھَناں کُرُدھْوَں۔ |
18 and thank [God] (in all [circumstances/] [of what happens]). God wants you [to behave] like that [because of what] Christ Jesus [has done for you] (OR, because you have a close relationship with Christ Jesus).
| سَرْوَّوِشَیے کرِتَجْنَتاں سْوِیکُرُدھْوَں یَتَ ایتَدیوَ کھْرِیشْٹَیِیشُنا یُشْمانْ پْرَتِ پْرَکاشِتَمْ اِیشْوَرابھِمَتَں۔ |
19 Do not [refuse the urging from God’s] Spirit [when he is working] [MTY] [among you. That would be like] throwing water on [a fire] [MET]!
| پَوِتْرَمْ آتْمانَں نَ نِرْوّاپَیَتَ۔ |
20 [Specifically], do not despise messages that the Holy Spirit reveals to someone, [and reject them automatically].
| اِیشْوَرِییادیشَں ناوَجانِیتَ۔ |
21 On the contrary, evaluate all [such messages]. Accept the [messages that are truly from God, and obey them].
| سَرْوّانِ پَرِیکْشْیَ یَدْ بھَدْرَں تَدیوَ دھارَیَتَ۔ |
22 Do not obey any kind of evil [message].
| یَتْ کِمَپِ پاپَرُوپَں بھَوَتِ تَسْمادْ دُورَں تِشْٹھَتَ۔ |
23 [We pray to] God that he will change you to become more and more like his people should be. He is the one who causes [his people] to have [inner] peace. [That is, we pray] that he will help you so that in all that you think, in all that you desire, and in all that you do, you will be without fault. We ask him that he will keep doing that [until] our Lord Jesus Christ comes back [to earth].
| شانْتِدایَکَ اِیشْوَرَح سْوَیَں یُشْمانْ سَمْپُورْنَتْوینَ پَوِتْرانْ کَروتُ، اَپَرَمْ اَسْمَتْپْرَبھو رْیِیشُکھْرِیشْٹَسْیاگَمَنَں یاوَدْ یُشْماکَمْ آتْمانَح پْراناح شَرِیرانِ چَ نِکھِلانِ نِرْدّوشَتْوینَ رَکْشْیَنْتاں۔ |
24 [Because God] has invited you [to be his people, you can] certainly trust him to keep on helping you to do that.
| یو یُشْمانْ آہْوَیَتِ سَ وِشْوَسَنِییوتَح سَ تَتْ سادھَیِشْیَتِ۔ |
25 My fellow believers, pray for me and for Silas and for Timothy.
| ہے بھْراتَرَح، اَسْماکَں کرِتے پْرارْتھَناں کُرُدھْوَں۔ |
26 [When you gather together as believers], greet each other affectionately, as fellow believers [should].
| پَوِتْرَچُمْبَنینَ سَرْوّانْ بھْراترِنْ پْرَتِ سَتْکُرُدھْوَں۔ |
27 Make certain that you read this letter to all the believers who may be absent when you read it at first, [knowing that] the Lord [Jesus wants you to do it].
| پَتْرَمِدَں سَرْوّیشاں پَوِتْراناں بھْراترِناں شْرُتِگوچَرے یُشْمابھِح پَٹھْیَتامِتِ پْرَبھو رْنامْنا یُشْمانْ شَپَیامِ۔ |
28 [I pray that] our Lord Jesus Christ [will continue to act] kindly toward you all.
| اَسْماکَں پْرَبھو رْیِیشُکھْرِیشْٹَسْیانُگْرَتے یُشْماسُ بھُویاتْ۔ آمینْ۔ |
